NurseZone Newsletter - 11/15/2013

After all the sacrifices and hard work, are you
still happy with your choice to pursue a nursing
career? If so, you are among the vast majority of
nurses who claim to be satisfied with their
careers. But a much smaller percentage of nurses
are satisfied with their actual jobs, according to
the latest Survey of Registered Nurses conducted
by AMN Healthcare, which also found that
satisfaction levels vary between age groups.

Individual nurses may be motivated by
different things, but most will agree that a
supportive work environment and
opportunities for professional growth can go
a long way toward improving job
satisfaction. And there are a few hospitals
that seem to have discovered the right
formula for creating a great place to work.

As the peak flu season approaches, health
care practitioners and public health
organizations are busy bracing for the
onslaught of influenza cases. Yet many hope
that with increased education, prevention
and vaccination efforts, we could see a
milder flu season this year than in years
past.

Technology innovations have been behind some
major changes in nursing practice over the
years. Whether they liked it or not, nurses
have had to change the way they share and
use information, safeguard care processes
and monitor and educate patients. Are they
finally starting to embrace technology as a
key part of patient care?

Are you looking to stay warm this winter, or
just explore some fun new places? Winter is
a great time to try travel nursing, and
these locations in California and Texas have
plenty of assignments and incredible
features to experience.

After many years of
travel nursing I've met all types of nursing
personalities. There are the outgoing
nurses, the shy nurses, the confident
nurses, the hesitant new grads, and many
more that I can't even name here. In my
opinion, nursing needs all of these
personalities to keep our world/unit happy.
